Furthermore, I live in Colorado at 6,500ft altitude, so I am down about 20% of my horsepower due to the altitude. (I am not bashing the M235i, awesome car, just the video report.) I previously owned a 135i that out handled my M5. But as they say, once you go ///M, you will never go back! 
The quoted statement is further proof not to buy manuals, you lose to little cars with less horsepower. And before you flame me, my SMG M5 is the first non-manual I have owned in 27 years of driving and 13 different cars...
Other than that, the filmography was awesome, right up there with Top Gear UK! |
Well, even you admit 135i outhandles your M5, so that leaves the 1M to leave it in the dust. Nurburgring times stock about the same and 1M much more amenable to mods than your V10 beast, so I don't think you can shut down "any" N54 and that likely would include lightly modded M235i...
